states i've spent time in

Doing my map of visited states was a little harder than doing the countries. I started out with the criteria of “have spent the night there,” so as to avoid including states I’d only flown over or walked through the airport of. However, I realized there were a number of states that I’d traveled visited on day trips (like Mississippi, when I lived in Alabama) that really seemed like they should be included, so I put those in as well.

The resulting map is interesting…clearly I’ve traveled a lot in the states, but I’ve not spent much time in the great plains. And I don’t know how I managed to miss Wisconsin and Delaware when I visited all their its neighbors. Strange.
